A case reflecting problems related to determining the time to calculate land use fees when carrying out land registration procedures and issuing land use right certificates (red books).
People are concerned that the calculation of land use fees will be based on the time of submitting dossiers or the time when state agencies have completed procedures.
Regarding this content, the Department of Land Administration, Ministry of Agriculture and Environment said that land law has clearly stipulated the time to calculate land use fees in each case.
According to point b, clause 3, Article 155 of the 2024 Land Law, for cases of recognition of land use rights, the time to calculate land use fees is the time when land users submit complete valid dossiers according to the provisions of law.

Not depending on the time of dossier resolution
The Department of Land Administration said that the calculation of land use fees is not based on the time when functional agencies complete procedures or issue red books, but is determined right from when people submit complete valid dossiers.
This regulation helps ensure transparency, avoiding arising financial obligation differences due to prolonged dossier processing time.
Need to prepare complete documents
According to regulations, land registration dossiers must be complete and valid to be determined as the time for calculating land use fees.
Therefore, people need to prepare dossiers in accordance with regulations from the beginning to avoid having to supplement many times, changing the timing of calculating financial obligations.
The Department of Land Administration recommends that people contact local land management agencies to check their dossiers and get specific guidance.
Determining the correct time to calculate land use fees will help people be proactive in fulfilling financial obligations and avoid unnecessary costs in the process of carrying out procedures.
